I highly doubt moisture condensation is any concern in these Spyders, at least for the vast majority.

Ergo... My Addenda.

All this new computerized, this and that, Can Bus ("Controller Area Network") this and that, etc. etc. Chips and ECU's and wires here, and wires there.

It seems when it comes to Spyder owners, many are not two-wheeled veterans?
And even more are not gear-headed savvy, not even a little?

Go to an automotive supply who mixes paint (most Napa Auto Parts do) and ask to see their color chip books. Most have volumes of colors. Pick one out.

I can tell you that after we all took the 3 wheel class here in Washington State on Spyders, two of the three Gents who were going to go the TriGlide route changed their minds.

Question:
For your average two up multi-week touring on a RT, (2023) is there a great benefit of upgrading to these very expensive aftermarket shocks before the stock shocks wear out?
